Crime branch teams raided seven call centres at Mira Road in adjoining Thane district, in the multi-crore scam involving cheating of US citizens by posing as officials of US Tax Department. About 70 directors and key persons of these call centres were arrested and 700 employees were detained. Police issued a LOC (Look Out Circular) against Shaggy on October 7, two days after his escape, officials said. As the investigation started, a key accused and Shaggy's elder sister, Reema, fled the country from Delhi on October 8. Police are now trying to get information from immigration authorities about how both the key accused fled the country.
